Ingredients
  

For the Beef
  • 1 pound Ground Beef (80/20 fat percentage) Juiciness is key; opt for a higher fat content for ultimate flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Enhances flavor beautifully; you can substitute with sea salt if preferred.
For the Tacos
  • 6 small Flour Tortillas (six-inch) These tortillas provide the perfect base; corn tortillas are a great gluten-free alternative!
  • 6 slices Muenster Cheese This cheese melts like a dream and adds richness.
For the Toppings
  • 1 Mayonnaise A creamy addition that brings it all together; substitute with sour cream or mashed avocado for a lighter option.

Equipment

  • Flat top griddle
  • spatula
  • large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by evenly dividing the ground beef into 2.5-ounce balls, rolling them gently to maintain their tenderness. Set aside the beef balls on a plate while you preheat your cooking surface.
  2. Place a flat top griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat, allowing it to become very hot—about 400°F. If needed, grease the surface lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Once heated, place one beef ball onto each tortilla and smash firmly with a spatula for about 1 minute. This creates desirable crispy edges.
  4. Gently scrape under the patty with your spatula to check for a beautifully browned bottom. Adjust the heat if necessary.
  5. Carefully flip each smashed burger patty over using your spatula, then sprinkle with kosher salt to enhance the flavor. Allow them to cook on this side for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Once your Smashed Burger Tacos are golden and crispy, layer a slice of Muenster cheese atop each patty. Cover the pan momentarily to melt the cheese, which should take about 1 minute.
